I have been on this board for sometime reading and learning. Also other boards. I never posted much because I didn't feel knowledgeable enough to do so. Through all my reading and really sifting because it is difficult to determine who really knows what they are talking about and who just regurgitate bro science. I feel I have educated myself enough that I can pretty much tell the difference between the bullshit and the bull and be of some help to others seeking knowledge. One of the things I have been thinking and reading about is what steroid is correct for what person.

I found the following and wanted to share this with the eroids community because I feel this is very important.

I borrowed the above from Will Brink to give him the credit.

My query is where do steroids factor in to this range?

Drugs such as steroids can act as are the great genetic equalizer: those who add muscle easily but can’t get lean are able to do so, and those who have great difficulty adding LBM, but have no problems staying/getting lean, can do so while retaining LBM. Obviously, genetic traits still play a role (or everyone would look identical and respond identical, etc) but drugs allow for genetic limitations in the above, faster recoup, ability to tolerate higher training volumes, etc.

One of the questions that is often asked is stats. I agree the current body stats are an important part of deciding what steroid is the correct one for the individual a deeper understanding of the individual is needed in order to truly give an opinion of what is the best choice to make.

For example, logically one that has trouble adding and retaining LBM should be using stacked compounds that are geared toward increasing body mass such as Testosterone, Deca-Durabolin, Anadrol, NPP and Dianabol will take the lead. Each of these steroids will pack on size and increase strength when coupled with enough calories. The goal put on as much muscle as possible without worrying to much about fat accumulation because that will fall off when off cycle. This is a typical bulker cycle and this person should be bulking almost every single cycle.

For people on the opposite end of the spectrum the right choice may be lower levels of Testosterone while adding Tren, Mast, Var or any other drug that will fight the muscle wasting effect of losing body fat on a low carb intake. Otherwise, when someone loses weight they often just end up looking like a smaller version of themselves without a real chance in composition. This person will look to cut and salvage muscle more often than bulk to add it.

Those in the middle have the best of both worlds. They can bulk and then cut rinse and repeat. Its the opposite ends of the spectrum that need to make the best choices or really that can make completely wrong choices.

The above contains only generalized statements that aren't true in every situation. I simply wanted to point out another thing to think about while deciding what is right for you.
